St. James Infirmary provides compassionate and non-judgmental healthcare and social services for all sex workers while preventing occupational illnesses and injuries through a comprehensive continuum of services.

St. James Infirmary publishes the 3rd Edition of our Sex Worker Occupational Health & Safety Handbook

The St. James Infirmary “Occupational Health and Safety Handbook, 3rd edition” is hot off the presses and better than ever! The first half of the book is devoted to harm reduction, health, safety and legal rights, and the second half has information for 720 local, national and international resources relevant to the lives of sex workers. If you are a sex worker outside of the Bay Area or your agency serves sex workers, you should buy this book NOW…it is amazingly thorough and helpful.

If you are a sex worker in the Bay Area, you can get a free copy of the book when you come in and receive services.

Our Third Edition will only be available for sale as a hard copy however, you can still download a free PDF version of the Second Edition for free, but be warned the Third Edition is vastly different and features over a dozen new writers plus, all the agency information has been updated and we now have an index.
